Comedy. Adapted by Anne Coulter Martens. Based on the book by Hartzell Spence. The rundown parsonage at their new parish comes as a shock—but that’s only the beginning!
Reverend Spence and his family arrive in Laketon, Iowa full of anticipation for their new place of service. The rundown parsonage comes as a shock – but that’s only the beginning. Reverend Spence finds the church building coming apart, the congregation split into warring factions and the choir “a cross between the devil’s grandmother and a swarm of mountain wildcats.” All of this makes for humorous complications as he struggles to build a new church, organize a new choir, and crush intolerance with the help of his teen-aged children, Hartzell and Eileen. The surprising conclusion will have the audience smiling as they leave the theater.
